Hello I'm new to Modifying PSP's and my friend modified mine to devhook0.46 (while i wasn't there to see what he did) and i tried to change it to 0.52. i followed all the steps but for some reason devhook is not an option i can click on when i go to the games section on my psp. all i have as an option there is psardumper and corrupted data. I'm really not that good at this stuff but the guide seemed really straight forward so I thought i would give it a shot. please help me out, hopefully i did not delete a file that i was not supposed to. thanks in advance to anyone who responds.

just one advice, are you on 1.5 now?
I would recommend using Custom firmware 3.52M33, that way you don't have to deal with devhook as 3.52M33 is a mix of 1.5kernal and the newer 3.52.
HERE is the update guide. take a look :)

If DevHook is not showing up in the Game menu then you didn't copy over the PSP folder to your memory stick drive.

Does this game require a firmware higher than 3.11? Only games 3.11 and below will work on DevHook. Anything higher and you'll have to upgrade to custom firmware 3.52 M33.

That's right, there should be a menu above that text and option that says "FIRMWARE" Go into firmware and choose 3.11, then start devhook.

Well the psar_dump3 and psar_dump3% folders are the program. Move those over to the GAME folder.

version 3.52...

that is the problem :p Official 3.52 cannot run homebrew.

However, it is possible to "downgrade" official 3.52 to a homebrew-capable firmware, such as 1.5, by using a Pandora battery.

o...kay....?!?! =S =S!! lol! ermmmm...how do i do that?! =P! Whats the difference between 1.5 and 3.52? Ozzy

Well here is the guide on converting a normal PSP battery to Pandora:

http://forums.exophase.com/showthread.php?t=3238

basically, it writes a special serial code to any battery, booting the PSP in service mode. Thing is, you'll need to know someone with a homebrew-capable PSP so they can convert the battery for you.

There is also another way, by purchasing an already-converted Pandora battery:

Probably this stuff is quite confusing if you are new to the PSP scene. But just ask if you have any questions.

The main difference between 1.5 and 3.52 is that 3.52 cannot run any homebrew applications due to security upgrades.

hello...so i am back with dumb questions. i have devhook enabling me to switch to version 3.11 but my game (Scarface which is a .cso file) will not work. i am not sure of the proper setup of devhook to allow me to play these games. do only .iso games work, my friend told me .cso should work as well. Is there any guide in this forum that would tell me how to set up my devhook properly? Sorry once again for littering the forum with my technically challenged questions

CSO files should work however do you know what firmware Scarface requires? Because if its higher than 3.11 the game will likely not work.
